Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

"Yongjun, you're finally back. I thought I wouldn't be able to see you before I went to the countryside."

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Zheng Yongjun returned to Kyoto with his son Zheng Jianmin. Their first stop was Yandaixie Street, carrying some local specialties.

"Da Mao, I have to go to work tomorrow, so I have to come back. You can give some of the gifts I brought to Ling Yun and the others, and I'll take the rest to the office and give them to my colleagues."

"These are all small matters. Let me tell you, the gift must be delivered to Wu Lingjuan from our unit. Do you know where she lives? Go now, and if it's convenient, ask her to help arrange which school your eldest son should go to. How old is Jianmin this year? What grade is he in?"

"Fourteen, in the second year of junior high school. Yes, there is still school to do."

Xu Damao told him that Wu Lingjuan was interested in being with him. "You can go to her place to wish her a happy new year. Go later and try to have dinner with her. Don't worry about your son. Just leave him here. Try to get him tonight. A real man should act when he should. Don't be afraid of others. I'm waiting for the news of your triumphant return."

Hehe, as expected, Zheng Yongjun did not disappoint Xu Damao and returned home at ten o'clock that night.

The next day, Xu Damao found Wu Lingjuan, who seemed to be in high spirits, making a phone call in the office to arrange the school arrangements for Zheng Jianmin.

Xu Damao pretended not to know. After Wu Lingjuan finished her call, he went over to knock on the door and said, "Wu Lingjuan, starting from tomorrow, I will go to the countryside to show movies and attend the wedding of Chen Xiaoshun, a worker in the workshop. You should take care of the department's affairs."

"Oh, okay, I understand." When people are happy, they can happily accept anything.

After noon, Xu Damao quietly left and went to He Lihua's residence on Xishiku Street.

"Are you okay? I went back home."

"It's fine. Didn't I tell you that as long as I'm willing to risk it all, no one can do anything to me. What's my second brother? Even my dad can't force me, so how can he force me? Besides, my dad doesn't think highly of the captain. He has no backing, no background, and he's just a captain. Don't worry, there won't be any such problems in the future."

"That's good." Xu Damao finally felt relieved. He was also worried that his little sweetheart would suddenly fly away one day.

Because he and Chen Zhiyong were going to take the projector back to the village the next day, Xu Damao didn't stay with He Lihua for too long. After having dinner together, they went back to Yandaixie Street.

I went home and packed the gifts I would take to the countryside. I packed and bound them in advance and arrived at Baishui Village calmly the next day.

Everything was fine. There was one thing that made Xu Damao feel relieved. Fang Junru actually had a partner.

Village Chief Chen acted as the introducer. The other party was the daughter of the secretary of Wenquan Commune, a high school student. Fang Junru met her in the commune when he was helping the commune repair tractors. They fell in love at first sight. Village Chief Chen acted as the introducer on behalf of Professor Fang.

So many interesting things happened in Baishui Village last year.

This time, Xu Damao and Chen Zhiyong came to attend the wedding of Village Chief Chen's child with full sincerity. Not only did they give gifts, but they also took action. They screened movies for two consecutive days in the village and the commune. Although it was cold outside, Baishui Village had an ancestral hall and Wenquan Commune had a large auditorium.

Xu Damao was finally very relieved about Professor Fang's family of three, no, soon, a family of four, living in the countryside.

With Village Chief Chen taking care of him in the village, the commune secretary's son-in-law can still have a hard time! And Fang Junru is now a staff member of the commune's agricultural machinery station and has a job.

This is really good news.

When Xu Damao returned on the 13th day of the first lunar month, he made a special trip to Huangzhuang to visit Xu Guanwen's family and left his contact number with the Xu family.

The Xu family then realized that the original projectionist Xu had been a cadre for many years. As for why Xu Damao was so enthusiastic about his family, they really didn't ask the truth. Maybe because they all had the surname Xu, there was an invisible sense of familiarity.

This trip to the countryside was worth it. I learned so many things, and I also found that practicing in nature is more effective. Xu Damao has a deeper understanding of the word "reiki". While practicing the Qi Refining Technique in the woods behind the mountain of Baishui Village, Xu Damao felt the spiritual energy surging into his body like a tide. This feeling is really incomparable to practicing in his own yard.

The five elements of Qi refining, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, a place with abundant spiritual energy?

Xu Damao seemed to have opened a door to cultivation, but without a master to lead him in, he could only rely on himself to explore and move forward.

Fortunately, I have already gotten started. The more I participate, experience, and experiment, the more new insights I will have.

This was Xu Damao's biggest gain from this trip to the countryside. Xu Damao found that he had practiced his spirit and his range had exceeded 20 meters. Wow, what a big improvement. So cool.

When he returned home and told Fang Xiaoru about his brother, Fang Xiaoru looked surprised.

"No way? That nerd actually likes a country girl?"

"Don't worry? I've seen her. She's no worse looking than you. She's the daughter of the commune secretary. Just wait for your parents to write to you and invite you to the wedding."

"I'm really going to talk to my sister and my older brother about this. It seems I still have to go to the countryside during the first month of the year. We have to prepare for this great thing in advance."

"Well, you can have this. Don't worry about the family. Shuying has Meifang at home to look after her. Nothing serious will happen. She will have enough milk powder."

Fang Xiaoru was very quick in execution. The next day, she went straight to her elder sister Fang Airu and her elder brother Fang Yiru and discussed it with them. They asked for two days off to go to the countryside. The time was set on the Lantern Festival.

"Xiao Ru, then you can ride my bike down. Also, I have prepared a pair of watches for your younger brother and a gold bracelet for your sister-in-law. You can take them down as gifts. You can't go empty-handed."

"Thank you. My pair of Yongzheng-style enamel plates are yours."

"Xiao Ru, I don't mean that. What's yours or mine?"

"It still has to be divided. When you marry that pretty He Lihua someday, Sister Meifang and I will have to separate it clearly from you to avoid disputes in the future."

Xu Damao directly pulled Dang Xiaoru up and spanked her, "I told you to talk nonsense, if I don't spank you, you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."

Fang Xiaoru paused, "Okay, okay, you have the final say."

In the end, Zheng Jianmin was arranged to study at No. 9 Middle School in Moshikou, and he was actually allowed to live in a small courtyard arranged by Wu Lingjuan's family.

Does this mean that the two of them have settled their relationship?

Zheng Yongjun had to agree, because Wu Lingjuan gave Zheng Jianmin a task, which was to take her seven-year-old son to school. Zheng Jianmin was not living there for free, and he was responsible for picking up and dropping off the child.

Zheng Yongjun often had to go out on the road, and the transport office only provided him with one dormitory. After much deliberation, he agreed.

Anyway, Zheng Yongjun and Wu Lingjuan had already had physical contact, so the next step was to go through the procedures quickly.

That’s all that’s right. Both parties are safe, and the next generation can develop feelings in advance.

Wu Lingjuan is smart in this operation.
